    Why all the Zab hating?

    I made the thread about a "funny feeling about Floyd vs Zab" and everyone killed Zab. Alot of you say he is a B fighter and his skills arent up to par with Floyd. What? This guy is one of the most skilled fighters in recent memory with his combonation of speed, power, and his D has even gotten much better.

    Then I hate when people always talk about his chin. What evidence do you have on that? All of you say that Tszyu killed him but thats a lie. 1st off it was a long time ago and Zab was a young and very immature fighter. You guys say he has a weak chin simply because he got hit by one of the hardest punchers in boxing, while he was leaning back, and with his hands completely down at his side. Its ******. How many fighters wouldnt have got dropped and KO by that punch? Zab was just dumb and got up too quick. Then you talk about Millet but he was another guy with power and Zab was just rushing in trying to kill him. Anyone knows that if you are a big time offensive fighter, then you will go all out and be in position to get countered. It happeneds to all of them. When Castillo dropped Chico twice I told my man that Chico now has Castillo where he wants him because Jose is going in for the kill and he will leave him self vulnerable to the counter. Thats why alot of guys dont go for the kill.

    Why does Zab have a weak chin just for those 2 moments? I forgot he also got the fake knock down against Spinks which everyone knows was just because of being off balance but they always bring it up like he just got killed with that punch. He was alright still before 10 in the Tszyu fight and all Tszyu did was land that one punch so it makes me mad when people say that I knew Zab was garbage when Tszyu killed him. Zab dominated the 1st round and got caught with a straight right while leaning back with his hands down. Why does Zab always have to be labeled as chinny for that but Tszyu has been TKO twice and dropped legitmaly a bunch of other times and no one says nothing. You can think of almost every fighter and almost all of them have been either hurt a few times, dropped a few times, or straight up stopped a few times but Zab is the only one who gets that lable just because guys dont like him.

    Then people want to downplay the Spinks matches and say Cory sucks or that if Spinks can box with Zab then you know Floyd can. That is garbage. Spinks is a great fighter who is in the mold of a sweet pea and is a lefty. Floyd would have trouble with Spinks. I bet Spinks would give any of those guys problems at 154 and none of them wouldnt want to fight him. I bet anything that he would make Varas and Margarito look ****** right now and I bet he even beats the Russian who everyone is so high on.

    Zab gets such a bad rap. This guy has skills that only people wish they could have. Never the less, this is how alot of fans feel and thats why I said over and over again that this fight shouldnt be made right now. I said Zab needs one more big win for the public and he shouldve fought and killed Margartio then this fight wouldve been huge. and yes Zab would kill him. Then I hear some crazy people saying that Chico would kill Zab. What? This would be the biggest mismatch in boxing. Chico got dominated by Floyd and just recently made Freitas of all people look like Sweet Pea until PoPo tired. Chico will always have problems with guys that have speed and can move and then you add to that a guy who is a lefty like Zab? He would kill Chico worst then Floyd did.

      I want Zab to win as well but I think Mayweather will pull out the UD.

            Mayweatha would beat Judah. But I would love to see Weatha hit canvass. Big chance too.

              The thing I don't like about Zab is that he fights too many junkies and bums and mailmen.

                I love Zab but lets be real, he's in Fernando Vargas' category. Not as good as they seemed. Lets not forget Zab's recent knockouts have been against less than stellar opposition. And the fact that Spinks shook Judah a couple of times in their fights says a lot knowing Spinks' power.

                Cory Spinks is good, but when people give him that "slick" title it generally implies that they're hard to hit like other "slick" fighters like Roy Jones, Mayweather, Wright, etc. Spinks is very hittable.

                If Kostya could hit Zab as flush as he did, I wonder what a much faster Mayweather would do. And I do NOT see a one punch KO by Mayweather. I see a flurry or an accumlation of punches ending the fight (Gatti, Jesus Chavez, N'Dou, Brusceles).

                  Zab is a head case that's why. Just when you think he's turning his **** around, he comes in half prepared. Not to mention he acted like a huge ***** after the Kostya fight. My signature says it all, there's no way he would have ended that fight on his feet.

                  Mark my words. Mayweather will destroy Zab Judah if they fight. I have nothing againt Zab myself, but there's no way he beats Floyd. Mayweather is too fast and too accurate to outbox, and if Zab tries slugging him, he's gonna get countered to death all night long.

                    Why's that? If you like them equally, I would suggest pulling for Mayweather because he has a chance to go undefeated forever
